Abstract

Did we feel resistor committed? What are the dimensions of commitment in it?
Ghassan Kanafani says (globally, resistance poetry realizes its commitment to the revolution movement in the world, which is ultimately the climate in which the local revolutionary movement grows in it affects and is affected). If the poetry of the resistance adheres to the local revolutionary movement, then it abides by the sea of the whole Arab revolution and then abides after this And that of the global revolutionary movement, then he is committed poetry. And the commitment of this poetry to the revolution movement in the world and its expression of the human issue everywhere, and its conscious view of the issue of individual freedom and resisting the injustice he faces, and confronting tyranny that imprisons his freedom, do these reasons put our resistance poetry in the position of universality?
Ghanimy Hilal says: (Literature is a response to the intellectual and social needs of the nation and nationalism, and its topic is a nurturing of these needs, as it is primarily local and objective, and it hints at global goals, but behind the expression of national issues, hopes and pains, and the psychological attitudes and thoughts that follow .. Literature is national and national first, and the immortality of literary artifacts does not come from a global point of its significance, but rather results from its sincerity, its depth in national and historical consciousness, and its artistic originality in portraying its hopes and pains.
There is no doubt that our resistance poetry expresses an original expression of our people's battle against terror and occupation, and deeply embodies the aspirations of this Palestinian and Arab people to restore the Holy Land, but rather to restore their freedom, dignity and prove their existence.
If this poetry goes beyond this, it will express the revolution of the Arab people in regaining their rights. To express the struggle of man for his freedom, existence and dignity, so what I want it to be among the universality of literature, then it is a universal human poetry that contributes to building the present world civilization.
